The Drain Turbo Generator: turning water into watts

Affordable, plug-and-play hydroelectric power for homes and businesses across Nigeria and Africa.

The problem

Over 60 million Nigerians face unreliable electricity daily, with millions more across Africa affected.

Solar is weather-dependent and often too expensive; diesel generators are noisy, polluting and costly to run.

The solution

A compact, plug-and-play hydroelectric system that converts water flow into electricity, recirculates water for continuous generation, stores power in batteries, and scales with modular units.

Green & silent
Zero emissions, no fuel required, near-silent operation.
Affordable
Lower entry cost and total cost of ownership than solar or diesel.
Simple & modular
Plug-and-play install, minimal upkeep, scales with more units.
